The program both recalled beautiful memories of the 55th class over the past 1000 days and offered bright hopes for the future. Every moment of the ceremony was a heartfelt message from the 55th class to their friends and a token of gratitude to their teachers and school, leaving behind many lovely and memorable emotions.

The ceremony was honored to welcome distinguished guests. Representing the Foreign Language Specialized High School were Mr. Nguyen Phu Chien – Principal, Ms. Do Thi Ngoc Chi – Vice Principal, and Ms. Mai Thi Loan – Vice Principal. Representing the Parents' Association were Mr. Le Quy Lai – Representative of the School's Parents' Association, and Ms. Phan Thi Chung – Representative of the 55th graduating class's Parents' Association. In addition, the program included the participation of homeroom teachers, subject teachers, parents, and 704 students from the 55th graduating class.

"K55 MEMORIES STATION – CITY OF STARS" is a special program for the students of the 55th graduating class. The program was meticulously staged with wonderful, creative, and meaningful ideas, conveying profound messages from the organizers. Attending the program, CNNers, teachers, and parents were surprised time and again, ultimately overwhelmed with emotion: the students have truly grown up under the roof of this school!

Mr. Nguyen Phu Chien – the school principal – gave a speech and shared his thoughts with the K55 class.

The K55 MEMORIES STATION: CITY OF STARS began with a touching message from Mr. Nguyen Phu Chien – the school's Principal. In his speech, he hoped that the K55 class would maintain their unwavering spirit – because every great journey has challenges; pursue sustainable development – ​​not just fast, but also stable and far-reaching; live with integrity – because reputation is the most valuable asset a person can possess; and keep a small corner in their hearts for CNN – where the K55 class was once a part of a "family." He wished each CNNer from the K55 class to continue writing their own success story – in a way that is very "55," very resilient, very trustworthy, and very proud.

Ms. Phan Thi Chung, representing the Parents' Association of the 12th grade class K55, delivered a speech expressing gratitude to the school.

Following Mr. Nguyen Phu Chien's presentation, Ms. Phan Thi Chung, representing the Parents' Association of the 12th grade, class of 55, expressed her sincere and profound gratitude to the teachers and all staff of the school – those who have given the children knowledge, equipped them with skills, and bestowed love upon them, helping them grow and mature under the roof of the Foreign Language Specialized School. She encouraged the children to confidently move forward in life, to utilize what they have learned at school to shine brightly everywhere!

These beautiful bouquets of flowers convey the deepest gratitude of each student from the 55th graduating class to their teachers.

Next on the program, the Student Union, representing all 12th-grade students, presented a fragrant bouquet of flowers to the School Board, the Parents' Association, and the 17 homeroom teachers of the 17 classes over the past three years – those who have always loved, shared, and accompanied the K55 graduating class. The bouquet, with its vibrant red roses, embodied the heartfelt sentiments cherished deep within the hearts of the K55 students. The entire schoolyard fell silent, all attention focused on the stage. The appreciation night officially began from that beautiful moment of heartfelt gratitude.

In response to the heartfelt gesture from the K55 class, the teachers and parents also presented the students with very special gifts. These included a video titled "Words of Love for K55," capturing countless expressions of affection, encouragement, and trust from the 17 homeroom teachers. The entire schoolyard fell silent to listen and feel the emotions, followed by resounding applause as K55 expressed their gratitude to their teachers and parents. This was also the most special part of the program.

The most impressive part of the program was the appearance of Le Anh Khanh Ngoc – IC, along with the Famheads and Subheads of the Ten Plus 2023 program – “Understanding”. In the solemn yet warm atmosphere of the ceremony, the pillars of the 10+ program from years ago shared incredibly meaningful words of advice and guidance with the campers of yesteryear. Afterwards, everyone looked up at the screen to watch the beautiful footage of 10+ 2023 and cheered once again with excitement, emotion, and a lingering sense of nostalgia. As of May 26, 2026, 1003 days have passed since the K55 camp. Even so, whenever the melody of the song “Unconditionally” plays, the warm hearts of the K55 students will immediately return to that camp night, to relive the genuine emotions in the loving embrace of their teachers and friends.

But the most important part of K55's MEMORIES STATION: CITY OF STARS is perhaps for K55 to rediscover their memories, to retrace their journey through the Foreign Language major over the past 1000 days. To return to the sweet memories of 10+, to meet the captain of the ship bearing the number 10+2023; to see and feel the love for the Foreign Language major with all their senses; to remember the Science Festival, the military training week at Hola, the incense offering ceremony at Ba Vi, the dramatization of literary works; to enjoy meaningful songs and dances from the school's clubs such as CMC , CDC, CRC; to cry and laugh with the joys and sorrows of their time in white uniforms…

K55 sees life as a series of exciting yet challenging journeys. For over three hours on the CNN stage, K55 shared a chance to relive their three years at the Foreign Language Specialized High School. Time is never enough to fully capture the wealth of memories. No journey is complete without sweat and sacrifice. Khoa (the character in K55's journey), though regretful about the past, must choose to continue, for it is the path of youth, with countless new things awaiting him. Leaving this school, K55 will embark on different paths: some will study abroad, some will attend universities in Vietnam, and some will pursue their own unique paths, but the memories of those brilliant years will forever shine in the minds of every CNNer K55!

Teachers and students of class K55 gave their all in the quiz and cultural performance sections.

At the end of the program, all the K55 students gathered together, exchanging commemorative hugs. Today, right where it all began, K55 is experiencing the final moments of their high school years. Three years of high school will forever be beautiful like a dream, even though that dream is filled with smiles and tears, joy and sorrow, encounters and partings. Because that is youth, springtime, love, and nostalgia. Closing this chapter of life also opens another. We wish our beloved K55 students to spread their wings and soar high to the skies of their dreams, to affirm their character, intellect, and heart. Your teachers and parents love you and are proud of you!
